Which operating system takes the least amount of RAM Linux Windows or Mac OS X?
Based on its sheer configurability, a modern Linux kernel takes the cake by far. it is still possible to use a modern kernel with a basic userland in 4 MB of RAM.
Is the user interface a part of the operating system?
This answer depends on how technical your answer needs to be. The user interface ships with the operating system, so the average computer user might consider the user interface to be a part of the system. If you care to get technical, however, the user interface is not part of the operating system.On all versions of Windows since at least 3.1, the graphical user interface is a module that runs atop the kernel, and is not actually part of the operating system. In fact, it can be swapped out for a different user interface, and the operating system will still run.Similarly, you can remove the user interface, and the system will still operate (this is how some servers are configured; not loading a graphical interface can reduce memory and processor usage). Contrast this to a driver; if you remove a driver, the system will not run that hardware, thus, an installed driver becomes part of the operating system.Technically, anything that runs in "ring level 0" on an Intel-based processor is part of the operating system, and everything else is not. If the user interface were in ring level 0, programs would be running with kernel permissions, and could thus take over the system without difficulty, since they would already be "in the kernel."The user interface is not trusted, and so runs outside the kernel to allow the system to be more reliable.
What do you mean when you say Linux is an operating system kernel?
It means that Linux is a kernel for Linux-based operating systems. In the strictest sense, Linux itself is only the kernel, however I tend to view it as a full operating system core due to how most kernel spece works (Which tends to include not just the kernel, but most device drivers.).

What is the name of kernel in Unix Linux and Windows Vista?
As Unix isn't any particular operating system, there is no distinct name for the kernel. Different versions of Unix may have vastly different kernel structures. The Linux kernel is called, well, the Linux kernel. The Vista kernel is a continuation of the "NT kernel" designed for Windows NT 3.1.
What version of operating system iPod uses?

What is the difference between unixkernal and linuxkernal?
Linux kernel is an operating system that is distributed by open source software. It is based on Unix, but has some differences, some of which are in adding and removing features of the kernel, kernel threading, application support, and monolithic kernel approach.
How many servers are there in Linux?
Linux is an open source Kernel a key element in any operating system responsible amongst other things for managing memory. A Linux distribution is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, there are many Linux distributions. Please reword the question.
What is the networking tool used in Linux?
linux isn't an operating system, per se, but most operating systems (if not all) based on the linux kernel have the ifconfig tool

What is Gentoo?
Gentoo is a Linux-based operating system which is open-source. It's an operating system where the experienced user has primal power in configuring the system. Linus Torvalds created the Linux kernel. More information about Gentoo can be found on gentoo.org.
What is OpenVZ VPS?
OpenVZ is an operating system-level virtualization technology based on the Linux kernel and operating system. OpenVZ allows a physical server to run multiple isolated operating system instances, known as containers, Virtual Private Servers (VPSs), or Virtual Environments (VEs).
